조선 후기문학에 나타난 女性과 治産 = Women and the household Management in the late chosun Literature

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The seventennth century Gyenyoso(誡女書), a handbook of female education, has chapters about not only how to promote familial love but also how to manage household finances. The guiding principle in those chapters for the housewife to manage the household property is thrift and frugality. The nineteenth century Korean literature produced many stories about those women who succeeded in accumulating wealth through business transaction. The fact that the authors praised and respected them as "wise wives" shows that the creterion of appraising female virtues had been changing as the commercial transaction began evolving out of the traditional agrarian society. In the stories, those women who made an economic success, whatever class they might come from, demonstrated their cultural maturity by keeping their self abstinence, not indulging in their wealth, and helping relieve the famished, for instance, during the years of bad crop. Their mature sense of economy may have contributed to the approval and exhortation of women's accumulation of wealth in the strictly patriarchal society of Yi Dynasty.
